[QUOTE="Quid est Veritas?, post: 74853581, member: 385144"] I don't understand all this hullabaloo about computers playing Chess. To me, it is the same as pitting a guy doing maths in his head vs one using a calculator. At heart, that is what a computer is, and even if it runs algorithms that it can refine over time, changing or expanding the functions it runs, it is still just following set programming and working off inputs to deliver set outputs, that are then measured against a standard also given as an input to the system. So in essence, a chess grandmaster was defeated by a team of guys using a very fancy calculator. Okay, am I supposed to read something into this? A guy in a car can out-distance the fastest runner alive, too. [/QUOTE]
